If you’re using Outlook 2011 on your Mac, there will be times when you need to delete an old or unused email account. Here’s how to do it.
The other day I showed you how to add Windows Live Mail via POP3 to Outlook Mac 2011. Now that you know how to add an account, what about removing one?
First, launch Outlook Mac 2011. From the toolbar click Outlook >> Preferences.
Outlook Preferences opens. In the Personal Settings column click on Accounts.
The Accounts screen comes up. This will list each of the email accounts you have set up in Outlook. Here I just have one, but highlight the one you want to delete in the left panel. Then at the bottom click the minus button to deleted the selected account.
If you want to save your emails, or delete them, click the Advanced button on the Accounts screen.
Then select if you want to have your emails deleted from the server after a certain amount of time or not at all.
After deciding on what to do with your existing emails click Delete on the verification message.
After that you’re brought to the Add an Account screen. That’s all there is to it. Now you can add your new email address or just close out of this screen.
